THE WORK NEXT THURSDAY.

LIE WORh NEAT THURSDAY.
The work to be done at the Dallas con.
ference next Thursday will decide TIE
benefit to be derived by the state from the
awakening of the people to the need Of
immigration.
The essential point at issue is the
making of railroad rate that will in
duce travel to Texas on the part Of home
seekers and investors. Without this
NO good will result, as no effort
by the people can avail in the
face of "cheap rates" to other states
whose people are also at work. THE
GAZETTE has faith that such rates will be
made by the railroads; but while the rate
is an essential element it cannot, alone,
produce all the results the people sntici-
pate from this movement.
Given the rate demanded, the people
must see to 1t that this movement is
made permanent. The effort OF the
people should not end with
the guarantee of railroad cooperation,
and that this effort may not be of en- ev-
anescent character, all selfshness must
be, as far as possible, eliminated from it.
The effort Of the people as embodied
in the organization Instituted last Wed
nesdsy Is based upon the volition Of each
community and section, and perfect unity
and general concert of action are not only
necessary to the contamination of the pop
ular desire, but they are an implied pledge
to the railroads. Therefore, any action
which tends to disintegrate this volun-
tsry effort is not only fruitful of danger
to the results expected but is bad faith on
the part Of the people.
In the selection Of headquarters and
Of q secretary for the state i'm
migration bureau, great wisdom
Ii needed to guard against the selfishness

IMMIGRATION MOVEMENT.
The Railroads willing to Do Thei< Part
Ths Necessity for Harmony.

F ORT WORTH, TEN, Dec. 26. 1857.
To the Editor Of the Gazette.
There is q feeling among the people Of
Texas that their hopes in the immigration
move nent and passenger excursion rates
will not be realized. This feeling is moi
universal, and yet it exists; and however
small may be the measure of it, it is Just
that much in excess OF public interest
because it is an apprehension that in this
movement the people viii be over
reached or gamm0ned or led out into the
| woods and lost, or be induced to stand
still in the darkness in some secluded
spot and hold open the mouth Of 8
| large bag, expecting therein to
be driven countless birds, while the bird
drivers have long since sought home, rest
and repose. We don't believe g word of
it, and we condemn such feeling as being
hurtful to the cause, in which the people
now take so much interest. Who of US,
| that have been engaged in trade or bust
ness negotiations, have not been disgust
ed and had our indignation aroused to
the point Of resentment by evidence OF
| unjust suspicious from the other party
that scoop, and not fair business ex-
change of mutual advantage, was cur
purpose. The most frequent cause of a
want OF harmony between men, is mis-
| understanding Of each others intentions.
The movement TO make an attraction
by which the people Of the world will
come to Texas, examine her advantages
and assist in developing her resources,
comes from the people Of Texas, who
have great interest therein. 1t is not
possible that development can take place
in the state without proportional de-
velopment in the business Of the rail-
roads The interest of the state of Texas
and the railroads are one and iGseparable;
they are bound together like the Sismese
twins; they must stand together, move
backward together or move forward to-
gether, and the reader will please bear in
mind that one Of the Siamese twins was q
man of vices, but when he died, the other,
who was without that vice. died also.
The rational conclusion is that the
intelligent individual, may generally be
relied upon to act according to his inter-
ests, and there is more human nature in
corporation than in an individual. Conf
dence between man and man is essential to
the success of any large business under
taking. And for one we are willing to
guarantee that the railroads will willingly
do their part Of the work and do it well.
The railroads of Texas own much more
property in Texas than the entire delega-
tion of 1000 men who met at Dallas some
weeks ago to put this ball in motion.

TIE LMMIGRATION POLICY.

The Atlanta Constitution under the
head of ga Remarkable Convention"
thus discusses the late State immigration
convention held at Dallas:
The meeting was in the interests of immigra-
ton, and about 5000 delegates were In attend
ance, representing every county in the state.
The excitement and enthusiasm were intense.
Each delegation had it's banner with an appro-
pirate motto. Committees were appointed to
confer with the railroads concerning cheap
rates to Texas. A permanent organization was
effected, with headquarters and a corps of Off
Gals. The executive committee was authorized
to take into consideration the propriety of des-
ignating one or more points in the statefor he
reception of immigrants and visitors, and vari
GUS measures for the encouragement emit of immi-
gratisn were agreed upon.
Since the war Texas has stuck to the policy
of reaching out In every direction for immi-
grants and it cannot be denied this policy has
built up the state. The scheme as perfected
by the Dallas convention will doubtless draw
many thousands of new settlers every year.
The Constitution, however, tears that
among the thousands that will come there
will be many drones and undesirable
persons, and prefers the Georgia policy
which suffers people to enter that state,
but does not urge or solicit any one. Be-
fore the war Texas had no immigration
ideas whatever. No one was asked to
come to the state and but few, compare
lively, avaiIed themselves of the ad-
vantages the country offered. It was
popularity believed that great many who
did come to Texas In the early days, had
their choice formed either by the impor-
tunities of creditors, or the solici-
tude of the law officers, and
this belief has injured Texas
and retarded her growth more
than little. 1t Is to counteract
the effects Of this vicious fiction that our
people have aroused themselves to the
necessity of concerted action. Good peo-
pie from everywhere are invited and
urged to come and make their homes in
the state, and if any drones come they
will soon realize the necessity of change.
Georgia is sn old state, and her policy of
conservatism may do well enough for her.
Texas has too much unoccupied lands
and too many uHdeveloped interests to
pursue policy of inaction. The Consti-
tution's figures are little wrong, but
the error leans to the side of virtue, and
Is freely forgiven.

Chinaman is found who is competent to

most suitable are Americans. No Euro
peans have the experience necessary to en-
able them to deal with ores like those OF Che

pean miners are the Freiborg graduates, but
in practice on the Comstock they have not
been found worth more than Cornish shift
bosses. Our great mines are all handled by
Americans, OF by persons who, though born
abroad, have lived so long here as to be
really Americans. 1t would probably be SC
with the mines of China.
